DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order for a person skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present disclosure, the relevant terms in the present disclosure will be explained first. For sake of simplicity and illustrative purposes, the present disclosure is mainly described in connection with the examples. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to enable the present disclosure to be understood thoroughly. However, it is apparent that the present disclosure may be applied without being limited to these specific details. In other instances, some methods and structures have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present disclosure. Throughout the present disclosure, the term “include” means “including, but not limited to”, and the term “based on” means “based at least in part on”; and in addition, the terms “a/an” and “one” are intended to refer to at least one of the specific elements.

The network side equipment in the examples of the present disclosure may be a base station or other equipment with wireless resource scheduling capability on the network side, and user equipment (UE) may be any terminal equipment such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a TDD frame structure of a communication system of a wireless electric power private network, wherein D represents a downlink sub-frame for transmitting a downlink signal, S represents a special sub-frame, and U represents an uplink sub-frame for transmitting an uplink signal; and each sub-frame has a duration of 8 ms, one uplink sub-frame or one downlink sub-frame can each be divided into 2 time slots, and one special sub-frame includes 3 special time slots, i.e., a Downlink Pilot Time Slot (DwPTS), a Guard Period (GP) and an Uplink Pilot Time Slot (UpPTS). In addition, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique is used for data transmission in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, in which one time slot consists of 7 OFDM symbols.

In the frame structure as shown in FIG. 1, each sub-frame has a duration of 8 ms, and as can be seen, the round trip time for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) of one downlink sub-frame will reach about 40 ms, wherein if retransmission is present, the transmission time will be multiplied. In order to shorten the round trip time of HARQ, in an example, uplink and downlink OFDM symbols may be simultaneously configured in one sub-frame, as shown in FIG. 2, the network side equipment first selects one sub-frame format from 62 types of preset sub-frame formats, and indicates the selected sub-frame format to the UE, thereby realizing data transmission between the UE and the base station. In this case, 6 bits are used by the network side equipment for indicating to the UE which one of the 62 types of preset sub-frame formats shall specifically be used.

In an example of the present disclosure, a wireless resource scheduling method is provided. As to the details thereof, reference may be made to the following description of examples.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a wireless resource scheduling method provided in an example of the present disclosure. The wireless resource scheduling method comprises:

At block S301: determining, by a network side equipment, a transmission length type of a first channel within a target time unit for user equipment (UE).

The target time unit here may be one sub-frame or one time slot, or a time unit length defined otherwise, e.g., a sub-frame group comprising two sub-frames. In an example, the first channel may be one of the following channels: a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

It should be noted that the network side equipment may schedule, in the current time unit, the resources within the current time unit; the network side equipment may schedule, in the current time unit, the resources within any one or more future time units; and the network side equipment may schedule, in the current time unit, the resources within the current time unit and any one or more future time units. That is, the target time unit here may be the current time unit, a certain time unit in future, or a combination of the current time unit and a future time unit.

At block S301, the network side equipment determines the transmission length type of the first channel within the target time unit for the UE based on the need of data transmission with the UE. In an example, two transmission length types i.e., a long type and a short type, are defined. In an example, if one type of channel data needs to be transmitted in one time unit and the amount of data to be transmitted is relatively large, the long type may be used, and if two or more types of channel data need to be transmitted in one time unit and the amount of data transmitted via each type of channel is relatively small, the short type may be used. For example, if PDSCH transmission and PUCCH transmission are respectively performed in one time unit, the short type may be used. In an example of the present disclosure, three or more transmission length types may also be defined as needed. The transmission time length corresponding to each transmission length type may be predefined, or may be determined based on the length of the target time unit, and one or both of a first parameter value and a second parameter value. The first parameter value here indicates a minimum time length of the interval between a downlink signal and a subsequent uplink signal, and the second parameter value indicates a minimum time length of downlink transmission within the target time unit, wherein the downlink transmission starts at the starting position of the target time unit. As to the details, reference may be made to the description of the next example.

At block S302: notifying the UE, by the network side equipment, of the transmission length type of the first channel within the target time unit, and performing data transmission with the UE within the target time unit based on the transmission length type of the first channel.

Correspondingly, the UE receives the transmission length type of the first channel within the target time unit, with the transmission length type unit notified by the network side equipment, and performs data transmission with the network side equipment within the target time unit based on the transmission length type of the first channel.

In an example, the network side equipment may dynamically indicate the transmission length type by means of Downlink Control Information (DCI), and the transmission length type may specifically be indicated by a bit identifier. For example, when there are two transmission length types, bit identifiers 0 and 1 of 1 bit may be used to respectively indicate the long type and the short type. The network side equipment may perform data transmission with the UE on the first channel based on the transmission time length indicated by the transmission length type. In addition to the first channel, the network side equipment and the UE may also determine, based on the transmission length type and the channel type of the first channel, whether a transmission on a second channel exists. For example, if the first channel is a PDSCH and the transmission length type is the short type, the network side equipment and the UE may agree and set it as default that transmission on the PUCCH also exists, after the transmission time lengths in the number of the first parameter value elapse, and the transmission length type may be the short type.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the wireless resource scheduling method provided in another example of the present disclosure. The wireless resource scheduling method comprises:

At block S401: determining, by a network side equipment, a transmission length type of a first channel within a target time unit for a UE.

At block S402: determining, by the network side equipment, a transmission time length within the target time unit of one or more types of channels including the first channel based on the transmission length type of the first channel and one or both of a first parameter value and a second parameter value.

Here, for different channel types, different calculation formulas of the transmission time lengths are used. The network side equipment may determine the transmission time length within the target time unit of one or more types of channels including the first channel based on one or both of the first parameter value and the second parameter value, the transmission length type of the first channel, and the channel type of the first channel (such as PDSCH, PUCCH and PUSCH described in the following).

1) If the first channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the next time unit following the target time unit is for downlink, and the transmission length type of the PDSCH is the long type, it is determined that within the target time unit, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=the length of the target time unit−the second parameter value−α₁, wherein α₁ is a constant greater than or equal to 0, and the length of the PDSCH may be adjusted based on α₁ so as to be adapted to different service conditions; wherein the transmission time length of the PDSCH of the long type is greater than the length of the target time unit/2.

Here, the length of the target time unit is an integer multiple of a base time. For example, taking one OFDM symbol as the base time, the length of the target time unit is N OFDM symbols, if one sub-frame is one time unit, N=14, and if one time slot is one time unit, N=7.

Taking the case where the time unit is one sub-frame as an example, as shown in FIG. 5, the first parameter value=2 (the number of OFDM symbols), the second parameter value=2, α₁=0. In mode 1, one channel type is transmitted in one time unit, the transmitted channel type is PDSCH, in a known frame structure, the next sub-frame following the current sub-frame is for downlink, the transmission length type is the long type, in this case, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=14−2−0=12.

Here, the transmitted channel type may be directly indicated by the downlink control information (DCI), or the UE may determine the channel type based on the number of bits of a DCI load, since a different channel type corresponds to a DCI load having a different number of bits, and in this case, the channel type is determined by an indirect indication by means of the DCI. In an example, since the transmission channel following the PDSCH is PUCCH, the PUCCH can be determined based on the previous channel type, the PDSCH and the PUSCH, however, need to be distinguished. In the above, the two different channel types may be indicated by different bit identifiers in the DCI, or may not be indicated in the DCI, but determined by the UE based on the number of bits occupied for downlink decoding.

In addition, a determination as to whether the transmission type of the next time unit following the target time unit is for uplink or downlink may be made based on the time division duplexing (TDD) frame structure for data transmission between the network side equipment and the UE, and the TDD frame structure is configured by the network side equipment for the UE(s) in the cell.

As can be known from the above description, the network side equipment can indicate to the UE the uplink and downlink configuration mode within the target time unit by using one single bit. For example, 1 bit is used in the DCI to indicate to the UE the transmission length type of the channel within the target time unit, and based on the transmission length type, in combination with the known first parameter value, second parameter value and frame structure, and the channel type determined by downlink decoding, the UE can determine the uplink and downlink configuration mode within the target time unit, so that the signaling cost is low.

2) If the first channel is a PDSCH, the next time unit following the target time unit is for uplink, and the transmission length type of the PDSCH is the long type, it is determined that within the target time unit, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=the length of the target time unit−the first parameter value−the second parameter value−α₁.

Still taking the case where the time unit is one sub-frame as an example, as shown in FIG. 5, in mode 2, one channel type, i.e., the PDSCH, is transmitted in one time unit, and in the known frame structure, the next sub-frame of the current sub-frame is for uplink, and the transmission length type is the long type, in this case, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=14−2−2−0=10.

3) If the first channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and the transmission length type of the PDSCH is the short type, it is determined that within the target time unit, the transmission time length of the PDSCH of the short type=└the length of the target time unit/β┘−the second parameter value−α₂, and within the target time unit, the transmission time length of the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) of the short type=┌the length of the target time unit/β┐−the first parameter value−α₂; wherein β is a constant greater than or equal to 2, and α₂ is a constant greater than or equal to 0.

Here, β is set to be greater than or equal to 2, so that transmission of two or more types of channels can be performed in one time unit. α₂ may be the same as or different from α₁ described above.

As shown in FIG. 5, in mode 3, two channel types are transmitted in one time unit, β=2, α₂=0, the transmitted two channel types are PDSCH and PUCCH, the transmission length type is the short type, in this case, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=└14/2┘−2−0=5; correspondingly, the transmission time length of the PUCCH=┌14/2┐−2−0=5. In mode 3, HARQ acknowledgement (ACK) information corresponding to the PDSCH may be fed back in the PUCCH of the current sub-frame.

4) If the first channel is a PUCCH and the transmission length type of the PUCCH is the long type, it is determined that within the target time unit, the transmission time length of the PUCCH=the length of the target time unit−the first parameter value−the second parameter value−α₁, and the transmission time length of the PUCCH of the long type is greater than the length of the target time unit/2.

As shown in FIG. 5, in mode 4, one channel type is transmitted in one time unit, the transmitted channel type is PUCCH, the transmission length type is the long type, and the long type here may be indicated in the DCI of the previous sub-frame (such as the previous sub-frame of the current sub-frame) scheduling the current sub-frame. In the above, the above indication may be an explicit indication, i.e., it is indicated in the DCI of the previous sub-frame that the PUCCH in the current sub-frame is of the long type, or may be an implicit indication, for example, in the DCI of the previous sub-frame, it is just indicated that the PDSCH of the previous sub-frame of the current sub-frame is of the long type, and the network side equipment and the UE may agree that, corresponding to the PDSCH, the PUCCH for subsequent uplink feedback, is also of the long type. In this case, the transmission time length of the PUCCH=14−2−2−0=10. In mode 4, the PUCCH is scheduled by the DCI in the sub-frame preceding the current sub-frame. Based on mode 4, uplink feedback can be performed on the PDSCH information in modes 1 and 2. In addition, the uplink control information such as Channel State Information (CSI) and a Reference Signal (RS) may also be fed back.

5) If the first channel is a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and the transmission length type of the PUSCH is the short type, it is determined that within the target time unit, the transmission time length of the PUSCH=┌the length of the target time unit/β┐−the first parameter value−α₂, wherein α₂ is a constant greater than or equal to 0, and the length of the PUSCH may be adjusted based on the α₂.

As shown in FIG. 5, in mode 5, one channel type is transmitted in one time unit, the transmitted channel type is PUSCH, the transmission length type is the short type, and in this case, the transmission time length of the PUSCH=┌14/2┐−2−0=5.

6) If the first channel is a PUSCH and the transmission length type of the PUSCH is the long type, it is determined that within the target time unit, the transmission time length of the PUSCH=the length of the target time unit−the first parameter value−the second parameter value−α₁, and the transmission time length of the PUSCH of the long type is greater than the length of the target time unit/2.

As shown in FIG. 5, in modes 6 and 7, one channel type is transmitted in one time unit, the transmitted channel type is PUSCH, the transmission length type is the long type, and in this case, the transmission time length of the PUSCH=14−2−2−0=10. The difference between mode 6 and mode 7 is that in mode 6, the PUSCH is scheduled by the DCI of the current sub-frame, while in mode 7, the PUSCH is scheduled by the DCI of the sub-frame preceding the current sub-frame.

At block S403: performing, by the network side equipment, data transmission with the UE based on the transmission time length of one or more types of channels.

Here, the network side equipment performs data transmission with the UE based on a predefined transmission starting position and the transmission time length of one or more types of channels given in any one of the above modes 1-7. For example, in modes 1-3, the transmission starting position of the PDSCH is the position where the DCI ends, the transmission starting position in mode 4 is: the first parameter value+the second parameter value+α₁, and the transmission starting position in mode 5 is: the time unit length−┌the length of the target time unit/β┐+the first parameter value+α₂, and the transmission starting positions in mode 6 and mode 7 is: the first parameter value+the second parameter value+α₁.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example in which the time unit is one sub-frame. In another example, the time unit is a time slot. As shown in FIG. 6, the first parameter value=2 (the number of OFDM symbols), the second parameter value=1, α₁=0, in mode 1, the transmitted channel type is PDSCH, in the known frame structure, the next sub-frame of the current sub-frame is for downlink, the transmission length type is the long type, in this case, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=7−1−0=6. In mode 2, the transmitted channel type is PDSCH, in the known frame structure, the next sub-frame of the current sub-frame is for uplink, the transmission length type is the long type, and in this case, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=7−2−1−0=4. In mode 3, the transmitted channel types are PDSCH and PUCCH and the transmission length type is the short type, and in this case, the transmission time length of the PDSCH=└7/2┘−1−0=2; and correspondingly, the transmission time length of the PUCCH=└7/2┘−2−0=2. In mode 4, the transmitted channel type is PUCCH, the transmission length type is the long type, in this case, the transmission time length of the PUCCH=7−2−1−0=4; and in mode 4, the PUCCH is scheduled by the DCI in a time slot prior to the current time slot. In mode 5, the transmitted channel type is PUSCH, the transmission length type is the short type, in this case, the transmission time length of the PUSCH=└7/2┘−2−0=2. In modes 6 and 7, the transmitted channel type is PUSCH, the transmission length type is the long type, and in this case, the transmission time length of the PUSCH=7−2−1−0=4.

In an example, the first parameter value and the second parameter value described above may be defined in a protocol, or may be indicated to the UE after being determined by the network side equipment. In addition, the network side equipment may also determine a value set of first parameters (the value set of first parameters may also be defined in the protocol), and then select a first parameter value for the UE from the value set. In the above, each first parameter value in the value set may have a bit identifier corresponding thereto. The network side equipment may send the bit identifier corresponding to the first parameter value to the UE, and the UE may determine the first parameter value simply based on the bit identifier, thereby saving the signaling cost. Similarly, the network side equipment may also determine a value set of second parameters (the value set of second parameters may also be defined in the protocol), then select a second parameter value from the value set, and send the bit identifier corresponding to the second parameter value to the UE, and the UE can determine the second parameter value only based on the bit identifier. As to the details, reference may be made to the description of the following example.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the wireless resource scheduling method provided in another example of the present disclosure. The resource scheduling method comprises:

At block S701 a: determining, by a network side equipment, a value set of first parameters, and then sending the value set to UE; wherein a first parameter is a parameter for indicating a minimum time length of an interval between a downlink signal and the immediately subsequent uplink signal.

Here, the network side equipment determining the value set of first parameters may refer to receiving a value set input by a network administrator, that is, the value set of first parameters may be preset empirically. In addition, the network side equipment may also determine the value set of first parameters based on a cell coverage distance and the counted processing time of each UE in the cell, and send the same to the UEs in the cell concurrently. The processing time of each UE includes at least one of the following: time required for receiving and decoding a downlink channel, time required for generating an uplink sending signal, and time required for switching from downlink receiving to uplink sending.

At block S702 a: selecting, by the network side equipment, one value from the value set of first parameters as the first parameter value for the UE.

In an example, the network side equipment selects one value for the UE from the value set of first parameters based on the cell coverage distance and the processing time of the UE.

The UE here may be one UE, a group of UEs, or all the UEs within a cell. When configuring the first parameter value for a group of UEs or all the UEs within a cell collectively concurrently, the network side equipment may select a first parameter value for the group of UEs or the UEs within the cell based on the processing time of the UE with the lowest processing capability among the group of UEs or the UEs within the cell.

For example, for a group of UEs that do not vary greatly in processing capability, in an example of the present disclosure, a first parameter value may be selected for the group of UEs from the value set of first parameters, based on the cell coverage distance and the processing time of the UE with the lowest processing capability in the group of UEs. If different UEs or different groups of UEs vary greatly in processing capability, the network side equipment may select a first parameter value from the value set of first parameters for each UE or each group of UEs separately.

At block S703 a: sending, by the network side equipment, a first bit identifier indicating the selected first parameter value to the UE.

Here, the network side equipment sends the first bit identifier to the above-described one UE, one group of UEs or UEs within the cell, and the one UE, one group of UEs or UEs within the cell determine(s) the first parameter value from the value set of first parameters based on the first bit identifier, as detailed in S704 a.

At block S704 a: determining, by the UE, the first parameter value indicated by the network side equipment from the value set of first parameters based on the first bit identifier, after receiving, from the network side equipment, the first bit identifier indicating the first parameter value.

For example, the decimal value set of first parameters is {1, 4, 7, 11}, the corresponding binary bit identifier set is {00, 01, 10, 11}, wherein the bit identifiers in the identifier set indicate the parameter values in the value set, respectively. The first parameter value selected by the network side equipment for the UE is decimal 11 (corresponding to binary 1011), and the first bit identifier corresponding to the first parameter value is determined to be binary 11. If the first parameter value is not indicated using the first bit identifier, it is also feasible to indicate the first parameter value using 4 bits.

At block S701 b: determining, by the network side equipment, the value set of second parameters and sending the value set of second parameters to the UE.

The network side equipment may also determine a value set of second parameters for indicating “the minimum time length of downlink transmission within the target time unit, with the downlink transmission starting at the starting position of the target time unit”. Here, the network side equipment determining the value set of second parameters may refer to receiving a value set input by the network administrator, that is, the value set may be preset empirically. In addition, the network side equipment may also obtain the value set by counting the number of symbols that each UE in the cell needs to occupy for transmitting the DCI and/or the number of symbols that each UE in the cell needs to occupy for transmitting downlink measurement reference signals, and concurrently send the value set of second parameters to the UEs in the cell, so as to facilitate the UEs to search for the corresponding second parameter value from the value set in a later stage after the UEs receive the second bit identifier indicated by the network side equipment.

At block S702 b: selecting, by the network side equipment, one value from the value set of second parameters, as the second parameter value indicated to the UE.

Here, the network side equipment selects the second parameter value for the UE from the value set of second parameters based on the number of symbols that the current UE needs to occupy for transmitting the downlink control information (DCI) and/or the number of symbols that the current UE needs to occupy for transmitting the downlink measurement reference signals.

At block S703 b: sending, by the network side equipment, to the UE the second bit identifier indicating the second parameter value selected from the value set of second parameters.

At block S704 b: determining, by the UE, the second parameter value indicated by the network side equipment from the value set of second parameters based on the second bit identifier after receiving, from the network side equipment, the second bit identifier indicating the second parameter value.

For example, the decimal value set of second parameters is {0, 1, 2, 3} and the corresponding binary bit identifier set is {00, 01, 10, 11}, then for a second parameter value having a value of decimal number 3, the network side equipment just needs to indicate the binary number 11 in the above identifier set to the UE.

At block S705: determining, by the network side equipment, the transmission length type of the first channel within the target time unit for the UE, and notifying the UE of the transmission length type of the first channel within the target time unit.

At block S706: determining, by the network side equipment and the UE, the transmission time length within the target time unit of one or more types of channels including the first channel based on the transmission length type of the first channel and one or both of the first parameter value and the second parameter value.

At block S707: performing, by the network side equipment and the UE, data transmission based on the transmission time length of the one or more types of channels.

In the above examples, it has been explained that the first parameter value and the second parameter value may be predefined in a protocol, or may be notified to the UE after being determined by the network side equipment. As to the process of determining and delivering the first parameter value and the second parameter value by the network side equipment, more detailed description is made below by means of an example.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the wireless resource scheduling method provided by another example of the present disclosure. The wireless resource scheduling method comprises:

At block S801: determining, by network side equipment, a first parameter value, wherein the first parameter value indicates a minimum time length of the interval between a downlink signal and the immediately subsequent uplink signal.

Here, in order to effectively isolate the downlink signal from the subsequent uplink signal to avoid crosstalk, an idle signal is set between the downlink signal and the immediately subsequent uplink signal, and the first parameter value indicates the minimum time length of the idle signal isolating the downlink signal from the immediately subsequent uplink signal. In an example, for the UE, when performing uplink signal feedback (PUCCH transmission) or uplink data transmission (PUSCH transmission), the idle time length of the interval between the time of uplink sending and the time of the previous downlink receiving may be greater than or equal to the first parameter value.

At block S802: indicating, by the network side equipment, the first parameter value to the UE.

In an example, the network side equipment determining the first parameter value at block S801 may refer to the network side equipment receiving the first parameter value input by a user, or refer to the network side equipment obtaining the first parameter value by automatic calculation and processing. In the case where the first parameter value is obtained by automatic calculation, the network side equipment may determine the first parameter value based on the cell coverage distance and the processing time of the UE.

In the above, the cell coverage distance may refer to a coverage radius determined at the time of cell planning, e.g., 1.5 km. The processing time of the UE reflects the processing capability of the UE, and mainly includes one or more of the following three: the time required by the UE for receiving and decoding a downlink channel, the time required for generating an uplink sending signal, and the time required for switching from downlink receiving to uplink sending.

In addition, the network side equipment may configure the same first parameter value for a plurality of UEs in the cell, or configure different first parameter values for different UEs. For example, for a group of UEs that do not vary greatly in processing capability, in an example of the present disclosure, a first parameter value may be concurrently configured for the group of UEs based on the cell coverage distance. If different UEs or different groups of UEs vary greatly in processing capability, the network side equipment may configure a different first parameter value for each UE or each group of UEs.

In addition, the network side equipment may indicate the above first parameter value to the UE in the following one or more message forms:

a system message, a UE-Specific Higher-Layer Signaling, Cell-Specific Physical Layer Control Information, UE-group-Specific Physical Layer Control Information, and UE-Specific Physical Layer Control Information.

In the above, the system message may be sent in a broadcast manner; for example, in order to improve the reliability of information transmission, a UE-Specific Higher-Layer Signaling or UE-Specific Physical Layer Control Information (such as downlink control information (DCI)) may be used. Here, whether to use a higher-layer Signaling or a physical layer control information may be determined based on the time during which the UE expects to maintain the parameter value valid after receiving the first parameter value, wherein the higher-layer Signaling maintains the parameter value valid for a relatively long time, while the physical layer control information maintains the parameter value valid for a relatively short time. In the case of configuring a first parameter value for the UEs in the cell concurrently, the Cell-Specific Physical Layer Control Information may be used, and in the case of configuring a first parameter value for the groups of UEs in the cell concurrently, the UE-group-Specific Physical Layer Control Information may be used.

At block S803: receiving, by the UE, the first parameter value indicated by the network side equipment.

At block S804: performing, by the network side equipment and the UE, data transmission based on the first parameter value.

Here, the UE determines the minimum time length of the interval between the downlink signal and the immediately subsequent uplink signal based on the first parameter value indicated by the network side equipment. In an example where PUCCH transmission or PUSCH transmission is performed, the time length of the interval between the time of uplink sending and the time of previous downlink receiving may be controlled to be greater than or equal to the first parameter value. Furthermore, the network side equipment may also prepare for uplink receiving based on the above first parameter value.

In an example of the present disclosure, the value set of first parameters is also determined before the first parameter value is determined, and the value set of first parameters may be sent to the UE. The value set of first parameters may be sent to the UE using one or more of a system message, a UE-specific higher-layer signaling, cell-specific physical layer control information, UE-group-specific physical layer control information, and UE-specific physical layer control information.

In the above, in the examples of the present disclosure, the value set of first parameters may be set empirically, or the value set corresponding to the first parameter may be determined based on the cell coverage distance and the counted processing time interval of the UEs in the cell.

During data transmission, the network side equipment may select, based on the cell coverage distance and the processing time of the UE, a value from the value set of first parameters as the first parameter value indicated to the UE, and send to the UE a first bit identifier indicating the first parameter value. After receiving the first bit identifier, the UE may search for the first parameter value corresponding to the first bit identifier from the received value set of first parameters based on a predefined mapping rule. Here, the predefined mapping rule may be, for example, that the bit identifiers are sequentially arranged in ascending order of 00, 01, 10, 11 and correspond respectively to the parameter values arranged in ascending order in the value set of first parameters.

Optionally, while sending the value set of first parameters to the UE, the network side equipment may also send to the UE the mapping relation between the value set of first parameters and the bit identifiers. This approach may save signaling cost in the dynamic scheduling stage because the number of bits indicated by the bit identifier is usually smaller than the number of bits of the parameter values in the value set of first parameters.

In the examples of the present disclosure, not only the minimum time length of the interval between the downlink signal and the immediately subsequent uplink signal but also the minimum time length of downlink transmission can be flexibly configured. In an example, the wireless resource scheduling method may further comprise determining a second parameter value and indicating the second parameter value to the UE, wherein the second parameter value indicates the minimum time length of downlink transmission within one time unit, with the downlink transmission starting at the starting position of one time unit, as detailed in the following example.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the wireless resource scheduling method provided by another example of the present disclosure. The wireless resource scheduling method comprises:

At block S901: determining, by a network side equipment, a second parameter value, wherein the second parameter value indicates a minimum time length of downlink transmission within one time unit, and the downlink transmission starts at the starting position of the time unit.

Here, the network side equipment determining the second parameter value may refer to the network side equipment receiving the second parameter value input by the network administrator, or the network side equipment determining the second parameter value based on the number of symbols required to be occupied for transmitting the downlink control information (DCI) and the number of symbols required to be occupied for transmitting the downlink measurement reference signals, wherein the number of symbols may refer to the number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.

At block S902: indicating, by the network side equipment, the second parameter value to the UE.

At block S903: receiving, by the UE, the second parameter value indicated by the network side equipment.

At block S904: performing, by the network side equipment and the UE, data transmission based on the second parameter value.

Here, the UE determines, based on the second parameter value indicated by the network side equipment, the minimum time length of downlink transmission in one sub-frame, one time slot or other time units, and during the dynamic scheduling stage, the length of transmission time occupied by the downlink signal may be greater than or equal to the above second parameter value.

In an example of the present disclosure, the network side equipment may also indicate the above second parameter value to the UE based on different message forms, for example, in the examples of the present disclosure, the second parameter value may also be indicated to the UE by one or more types of message forms: a system message, a UE-specific higher-layer signaling, cell-specific physical layer control information, UE-group-specific physical layer control information, and UE-specific physical layer control information.

In an example of the present disclosure, the value set of second parameters may be determined before the second parameter value is determined. The network side equipment determining the value set of second parameters may refer to the network side equipment receiving the value set of second parameters input by the network administrator, that is, the value set of second parameters may be defined empirically. In addition, the network side equipment may also determine the value set of second parameters based on the number of symbols that the UE needs to occupy for transmitting the DCI and/or the number of symbols that the UE needs to occupy for transmitting the downlink measurement reference signals. The network side equipment may select one second parameter value for one UE, or concurrently select one second parameter value for a group of UEs or all the UEs within a cell. In the case of concurrently selecting a second parameter value for a group of UEs or UEs within a cell, one value may be selected as the second parameter value from the value set of second parameters based on the maximum of the numbers of symbols that the UEs in the group or all the UEs in the cell need to occupy for transmitting the DCI and/or the maximum of the numbers of symbols that the UEs in the group or all the UEs in the cell need to occupy for transmitting downlink measurement reference signals.

In addition, after the value set of second parameters is determined, the value set may be sent to the UE. The value set of second parameters may be sent by one or more of a system message, a UE-specific higher-layer signaling, cell-specific physical layer control information, UE-group-specific physical layer control information, and UE-specific physical layer control information. When data transmission is required, the network side equipment may select one value from the value set of second parameters as the second parameter value indicated to the UE, and send to the UE a second bit identifier indicating the second parameter value. After receiving the second bit identifier, the UE searches the received value set of second parameters for the second parameter value corresponding to the second bit identifier from based on a predefined mapping rule. Here, the predefined mapping rule may be, for example, that the bit identifiers are sequentially arranged in ascending order of 00, 01, 10, 11 and correspond to the parameter values arranged in ascending order in the value set of second parameters, respectively. Optionally, while sending the value set of second parameters to the UE, the network side equipment may also send to the UE the mapping relation between the value set of second parameters and the bit identifiers. As can be seen, in the examples of the present disclosure, in addition to being defined in a protocol in a static manner, the above first parameter value and/or the second parameter value may also be determined by the network side equipment and then dynamically notified to the UE, or a semi-static manner may be used to predefine a value set, select a value from the value set for the UE, and dynamically indicate the same to the UE.

In the above-described example, the network side equipment may indicate the first parameter value and the second parameter value together to the UE, or indicate them separately. In the example below, the network side equipment may simultaneously indicate the first parameter value and the second parameter value to the UE.
